Commentary
Le droit de cette monnaie est assez classique avec cette tête en forme de porc-épic. Ce revers est bien net avec les ornements du carré perlé bien venus. La légende VICO se trouve sans ce carré perlé, avec le V formé de trois globules en triangle, le I formé de trois globules alignés, le C angulaire formé de deux globules et le O en guise d’annelet central.
Historical background
ENGLAND - ANGLO-SAXONS
(7th - 8th centuries)
If the minting of these coins is to be located at the beginning of the 8th century, in Great Britain, it is not exceptional to find them in Gaul. They are often confused with Merovingian silver coins (cf. MONNAIES XIX, n° 503, sceattas c. 680-710, classified in Merovingian denier of Laon). During the 8th century, the style of these pieces is more and more degenerated, they are often in ridge or filled. These coins disappeared from circulation in the second half of the 8th century.
